An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-4242 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WP Google Review Slider. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4242/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4242/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-4242","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4242/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-4242","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-234p-hx4f-3rv4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Admins can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized settings in WP Google Review Slider, enabling stored XSS attacks in multisite environments.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"wp_google_review_slider","vendor":"ljapps"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The WP Google Review Slider WordPress plugin before 11.6 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup).","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WP Google Review Slider \u003c 11.6 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2022-4242","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"ImageInject \u003c= 1.17 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2022-4243"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Unauthenticated API allowing an attacker to obtain the information about network resources","id":"CVE-2022-4240"},"products":["WP Google Review Slider"],"published":"2022-12-26","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"WP Google Review Slider \u003c 11.8 - Subscriber+ SQLi","id":"CVE-2023-0259","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-13"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"WP Google Review Slider \u003c 13.6 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-2310","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-26"},{"cvss_score":4.8,"headline":"WP Google Review Slider \u003c 15.6 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-11109","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-15"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-14","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Admins can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized settings in WP Google Review Slider, enabling stored XSS attacks in multisite environments.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4242/"}
